Default Clutch Slipping Bringing in for service but...

Do I have to remove my chip. I'd prefer not to but would it be advisable. My clutch starts slipping 4th and 5th(and all other gears, but these are most noticable) after about 30 min of driving. Fifth gear, 60mph, then WOT will slip at like 70, its not good, and I cannot drive my car like this.(Think merrit parkway).

My dealer has never said anything bout the chip, and has fixed even little things(blown speakers, wiper blades, broken brake light(tint installers fault)) without complaint.

Can anyone get me a diagram of how i should put my stock chip in my ecu if i have to do it tonight?

I doubt they'll even notice the chip.

Default If they take it for an extended test drive they certainly will...

notice all the extra power. For a wear and tear part like the clutch its easy for the dealer to blame the chip. Take the 20 minutes and take it out to be safe.
